LONDON (AP) - A children's television show on the British Broadcasting Corp. faked the results of a contest, drawing a $100,000 fine Monday from a regulatory agency.
In imposing its first fine on the BBC, the Office of Communications said the broadcaster broke the rules by using a studio guest to pose as the winner of a phone-in competition on the "Blue Peter" show on Nov. 27.
The show used the guest after a technical problem made it impossible for viewers to call the show.
